Hegseth said, we can fix the Army in a few months, the Air Force in 1-2 years, but the Navy will take more than half a decade. Boy, was he right. The Constellation became an overweight, Burke-lite disaster. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Ingalls dust off it's Patrol Frigate concepts based on the USCG NSC, already being built.

And as it turns out, it seems the NSC based Frigate is a go.

Phelan said publicly that the new Frigate would be an American design. He also said that any change orders would have to go through him personally. Sorry NAVSEA if you can't eff up another program.

It's also been reported that Phelan said at a private dinner, the Frigate will based on a modified NSC. They want the first one in the water by '28. Huntington Ingalls when asked, didn't deny it and referred reporters to the Secretary's public comments.

Wow, I wasn't expecting that. I figured everyone was happy with their HK 416s. While the regular Army transitions to the 6.8 M-7.
No doubt DEVGRU and CAG will still be able to choose their own rifle and as channels like Modern Tactical Shooting (former green beret) on YT say in a lot of units it takes years for new gear to arrive, even at Tier 2 level.
 
I would guess the replacement for this capability is drones?

It's pretty much whatever is going to survive in an environment more hostile than dropping LGB's on Jihadi Joe from 12,000' up. The A-10's days are long over. But apparently brrrrrrrrrrt brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt still affects some brains in congress.
 
American company Allen Control Systems unveiled the SearchCam anti-drone system, designed to detect and neutralize UAVs. The SearchCam air defense system is equipped with 16 conventional and thermal imaging cameras, allowing it to detect targets in passive mode. It operates in conjunction with the automated Bullfrog turret. The SearchCam air defense system is an alternative to active air defense systems, as it lacks radar emissions, allowing it to operate closer to the front lines.
